Connect field transmitters and sensors on the factory floor while increasing reliability and efficiency

The factory floor relies on accurate data from field transmitters and sensors to monitor multiple variables including proximity, pressure, and temperature.

Our IO-Link devices offer integrated IEC 61000-4-4 (EFT), IEC 61000-4-5 surge, fault reporting functions (undervoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature) and LDO's in a small VQFN packaging that enable you to communicate in harsh industrial environments while lowering power consumption and saving board space.
